For the last six years, Pittsburgh has welcomed Anthrocon, the world’s largest convention devoted to anthropomorphic enthusiasts. The community consists of artists, animators, writers, puppeteers, and fans of cartoon animals, but the most widely recognized members are furries, individuals who don elaborate costumes known as fursuits, which are designed to express the wearer’s “true” personality.

Now a group of Point Park University students will devote their senior thesis film to exploring fursuits and the furry lifestyle. Directed by Dominic Rodriguez, the documentary will focus on the unusual hobby by following a diverse group of several fursuiters in the U.S. The students hope to honestly examine this colorful sub-culture by taking a humanistic approach and getting to know the people inside the costumes.

In order to achieve their vision, the crew needs money for transportation, as the project will take them to different areas of the country and to several conventions throughout the year. Those interested can make a contribution on the Untitled Fursuiters Documentary page found on IndieGoGo.

I'm starting a new podcast on furry music (music by furries, not just about furries!) If you're a furry musician, or know of one, I'd love to hear your tracks! Link me. As background, I'm a musician and also work in the music industry, and have been a furry for a LONG time, so this is very much up my alley! Thanks for your help, reddit furs!

Judgment Day: the very name makes people reluctant to think about it, but the Bible promises that the day is coming when everyone will be held accountable for what they have done, believer and unbeliever alike. The Bible has much to say about the subject, but a lot of the content is rather vague about some things, such as timing.

But in the end, the timing does not matter as much as your preparedness for it. Will you be ready to give an account of your life?

Your answer doesn't need to follow this format, but here's my answer to my own question: Both St. Bernards and I love cold weather, are extremely friendly, are happy to help those in need, are cuddly (:3), are loyal, and are big ol' critters. Ever since I really joined the fandom in earnest, I've felt that I was a bernie. How about y'all? Does your fursona have a spiritual importance to you? Do you feel similar to your fursona? Or is it just your favorite animal? I'm genuinely curious!

Papabear is going to be interviewed on WNPR in Hartford, CT, this month, the topic being the "furry lifestyle." I want to get your input on the show with this question to you:

Is there such a thing as a "furry lifestyle"?

If so, how do YOU define it?  If not, why not?

Please post your comments below. A fascinating topic that needs to be talked about! Thank you!
